Topic: RPG: Alien vs Predator

The Rules:1. You may create any character you want. Clarify their name and species so others can follow their actions easily.

2. You can kill characters you create but you can't kill other people's characters unless they say they have been killed in battle with you.

3. You can have any weapon you want but you can only have what your character could physically carry - otherwise they wouldn't be able to move.

4. Be consistent, eg if someone says they blew up a building, don't suddenly be assaulting it.

5. If you have sustained many wounds you will have to either get medical help or eventually die.

6. Follow the storyline, sure add a few twists and turns but allow others to see where you want to go so they can help you get there.

7. Have fun.

The darkness of space was all consuming, the shadow of Saturn concealed a ship not unfamiliar to the system. However it's normal destination was the blue and green marble some distance off. For the moment it was picking up a signal that had been humming for centuries, ever so quiet and easily missed.

The moon, known as Iapetus to the human world of Earth, appeared baron and desolate. Its strange equatorial ridge had been an interesting feature on the moon, why it was there nobody really knew. But perhaps the answers were about to unfold.

Chechande stood at the helm watching the moon enlarge before him. The signal was foreign yet there was some familiar element.

Cold planets and moons were generally of no interest to a Yautja but this one called of intrigue. Chechande was a warrior foremost but he knew that alien technology could sometimes enhance their own. Anything to make the hunt more intense was always a motivator for exploration in Yautja culture.

It didn't take long for the ship, Tek'naj, to find orbit around Iapetus. Once there Chechande and a handful of his finest would jettison in their personal pods.

Name: ChechandeSpecies: Yautja (Predator)Gender: MaleWeapons: Shoulder cannon, staff, wrist blades - the usual Predator get upAppearance: Tall for even a Predator, he wears the thermal netting and has some minor skeletal trophies around his belt.

Communications Analyst Natalie Bryan sat sipping her coffee through a straw as she listened to the crew nattering on about the dirt particles they were currently examining. She shook her head and was glad to be on the ship rather than on the strangely shaped moon. The ship had to constantly adjusted to the chaotic orbit the moon had to Saturn, Natalie didn't really understand why the moon needed further research. It was basically rock and ice.

She leant back in her chair and decided to flip through the audio channels, surely there had to be something more interesting to listen to then the bunch of pencil necks on the moon below. She let the scanner do its thing, it skimmed for a while and then found something that made Natalie's brow furrow. The noise was garbled and sounded almost like an SOS bleep.

Natalie thumbed the com switch, "Ah guys, I think you need to listen to this." She patched through the signal and waited for their response.

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

Sitting in the Small control bunker, watching the space-sky when the comm beeped: "Ah guys, I think you need to listen to this." Then a sound came through the speakers, that sounded a little like an SOS. Jax hit the reply button and held it down: "Hey Natalie, its Jax. The Doctor and his collegues are a bit busy. Can I take a message?" Jax released the reply button and waited for a response.

Background: Jax signed up with the Marines to get away from his oppresive family, at age 18. He served two terms of service on Mars helping the resolve the infamous one-year long war with no-good colonists, after that he signed up for security jobs to help protect UW (United world) cargo-ships from pirates. After that he was recruited for this 'special' job....

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

Smoke walked heavily down the long hallway from the observatory Hyperion's surface. Security was tight, no ship was to so much as approach the system without his approval. With all the tests going on, the moon is on lockdown. He was on his way to the security control wing, almost an entire mile from the lab section. Word of an SOS had reached his ears, and he wasn't happy. ___

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

**Rev, the humans are on Hyperion not Iapetus yet **

The Tek'naj had traced the signal to the equatorial ridge, it hadscanned the ridge and had been unable to penetrate the surface of the mountainous landform beyond the ice. Chechande had a readout of the few details acquired and it seemed that the ridge was hiding something. He suspect that there was some sort of underground complex in the mountain, but only exploration would confirm this idea.

With its powerful laser, the Tek'naj had cut through the surface layers of ice. The laser beam had finally been blocked by a heavy alloy which did not seem to be part of the natural moon surface. Scans had come back to reveal and surface that was not natural, it had been built by something from inside the mountain.

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

The stucture was old, concealed to the harsh world outside. The temperature was still freezing but then there had been nothing to activate the thermal controls.

Deep in the bowels of the structure sat a frozen alien queen. Ice had formed all over her body, however she was already dead before time could freeze her. Beyond her stood rows of her prodigy. Alien eggs lined the floor, dormant but waiting...

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

Hachakra stood in his chambers, surrounded by smoke and strange carvings. he attached his plasma cannons, making sure his pack was fully charged. he tested his camo netting, it worked well...for now. it was still vulnerable to water, a fact which annoyed most of his comrades. he loaded his disks and his net, listening to the locking click. finally he lifted one of his 3 helmets. placing it on, he attached the necessary tubes and wires. his eyes flashed white as he switched viewing modes...the hunt was on...

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

Natalie was analysing the signal, the bleeps were irregular but they were in a repeating pattern. "I'm getting the computer to analyse this further," Natalie said through her com. "Seems to be coming from Iapetus."

Natalie swung around in her chair. "Its orbit is coming close to Hyperion, well as close as it gets. That might be why we're only just hearing it now."

Turning to the Navigator, "What sort of ETA would we have to Iapetus?"

Chechande took a moment to examine the exposed wall. The carvings were intricate but the language was one heÃ¢Â€Â™d come across before. His helmet immediately translated. With a large finger he found the point he was looking for. A small carving was etched deeper with the others.

Chechande pressed the image. There was a hiss and then a door opened. It was right at the edge of the laser cutting but there was enough room for the Yautja to get in.

Hachakra sent a message to Chechande, he was leading a second group. Chechande already had three other hunters with him. He didnÃ¢Â€Â™t see the point of Hachakra coming but he did not let that bother him.

Chechande was the first to step into the cavernous room. Lighting was coming online, seemingly activated by their presence. He could hear the room pressurising, there was no airlock but it seemed that an invisible barrier was keeping the air from escaping.

There was no time to wonder about the air, all of the Yautja were able to breath through their own equipment so they didnÃ¢Â€Â™t worry about the atmosphere. Instead they began to search.

The main room was huge, their ship would have easily been able to fit into the yawning space. Chechande went through his visual modes to get the best view. A line ran through the room, almost like a train line but with only one rail. Chechande knelt down and touched the rail. He watched as it glowed pink from his touch. A sound echoed from some distance away.

All the Yautja trained their shoulder cannons in that direction. A light glowed, a tiny speck that was growing larger and brighter.

Ã¢Â€ÂœTransport,Ã¢Â€Â Chechande voiced to the others. They waited as the transport approached them and stopped where Chechande had touched the rail. The doors opened to an empty carriage. Chechande tilted his head and noticed that the seats were slashed and windows were lined with fractures. What really got his interest was the acid burn in the floor.

Chechande clicked his mandibles together as he moved it to examine the burn. It was as he thought, Ã¢Â€ÂœHard meat.Ã¢Â€Â

The other Yautja joined him, he could smell the musk of excitement coming from them. Perhaps HachakraÃ¢Â€Â™s coming would not be a waste after all.

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

Lights were coming on but in some places shadows remained. Heat was seeping back into the ancient fortress. Icicles fell from the dead alien queen. Movement stirred in one of the eggs, becoming reanimatedÃ¢Â€Â¦

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

Chechande and his fellow hunters boarded the battered train. They had kicked the windows out so they could have a quick escape if need be. The train was relatively quiet as it rolled through the complex.

The lighting was duller the deeper they went and Chechande was growing more wary as he saw signs of an ancient struggled. Items were knocked about but there were no bodies. This only seemed to confirm that the hard meat had been here.

The train slowed and the Yautja cautiously made their way out. The place was dead but they werenÃ¢Â€Â™t about to drop their guard. The train stopped at a small station of sorts.

Chechande stepped forward and found the first trace of the people who had built the facility. A skull lay on the ground under a bench. Chechande picked it up, Ã¢Â€ÂœNaktar,Ã¢Â€Â he said to the others.

They grunted in acknowledgement. The Naktar were builders by nature, they picked an area and colonised it as a home to their large numbers. They were like the ants of earth. The Naktar even had specially bred soldiers that the Yautja had found to be good prey. The fact that this facility was empty so far suggested that the Naktar had been overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the hard meat.

Chechande placed the skull back on the ground. He walked into the station to find it a disarray of paperwork. Clear sheets with writing on them were strewn across the room.

His attention was diverted as Acknade called. Chechande emerged to see that Acknade had a small skeletal form held up with the two lethal blades from his wrist gauntlet. It was the remains of a face hugger. This confirmed his theory.

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

"This is Halcyon sorry about the wait chilly fox, we've dispatched a recce team, about 4 hours ago, we lost contact with them 20 minutes ago they found some sort of base shortly after we lost contact so where sending down our guys in an hour or so, we'll land just outside the base an unload the APC's and scout around, you can either go with B platoon or wait till its clear and go down with A platoon, We'll take and secure the base and use it for further ops. where raising the readiness level to critical, so make sure your guys are armed, Co ordinates for the base are uh 234 east, 781 north. your sensors are stronger than ours so can you guys use em' to give us a blue print of the base? over"

Lt. Gorman stood in the armory, attaching his sling to his rifle and holstering his handguns.

"Bex? throw us a thermal mono there!" Gorman shouted over his back

"Dont you ever do anything for yourself?" Bex sighed tossing over a thermal monocular

"Why do it myself when i have a capable soldier as yourself to do it for me?" Gorman grinned back as he attached the thermal monocilar to his mounting on his helmet

Gorman then switched to his internal comms

"A toon, Prep yourself, where gonna go down with B platoon as soon as we get some sort of blue prints. I need a squad from each toon to stay behind"

"Chilly fox, this is the Halcyon, Lieutenant Gorman here, Both toons will be going down together. your welcome to join us when ever you want out"

I am the Hammer. I am the sword in His hand, I am the point of His spear. I am the Gauntlet about His fist. I am the Bane of His foes and the woes of the treacherous. I am the End.

Smoke made a stop at the armory to collect some 'goods'. He grabbed several cans of shotgun shells and special .500 ammo, an M68C Auto shotgun, and another...item. He stuck the contents into a large duffle bag, then proceeded to the transport.

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

With senses beyond the known, an egg's lips parted. The fleshy inards were displayed and a spider-like creature twitched. Life was nearby. With pale finger like appendages, the face-hugger crawled from its egg...

BFFC ModeratorIt was like thousands of voices cried out for a sequel and were suddenly silenced...

Dachande was in the training halls watching the novices fight. One of them defeated their opponent and roared a challenge, pointing at Dachande. Dachande growled and removed his mask, revealing the broken tusk that was his namesake. He thrust his mask into the hands of one of the many novices, and stepped forward. Climbing onto the platform he faced the novice. This one was massive, and strong. But he was unskilled, he did not think. He would make a mistake and die. Dachande crouched, and began to circle. The novice charged, and moments later found himself meeting the wall outside the ring forcibly. Dachande stood and called for his mask. He then headed to the bridge, he wanted to see what his old freind was up to.

---

The Kainde Amedha had been here, and that meant they probably still were. The moment he saw the larva, Dachande began to cycle through his filters, coming to the one that detected the Xenomorphs. A quick scan. Nothing. "Perhaps the Kainde Amedha has died off. If none molted the droned could have died, there may not be a queen, it has happend before." he suggested.

"No, there was a queen here.We must kill her."

"Rodger that Halcyon are guys will meet up with B platoon. Be advised designation for are group is Theta squad, I will be taking command of this sqaud. Expect around 12 Marines. ETA 10 minutes...also the Doctor and his crew are going to be taging along. Prepare to recieve civys, Over."

Jax clicked off the com.

"Ok, Tailer your taking over, I'll see I can bring ya back a souvenior"

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

Chechande turned and realised Dachande was on a mission, Ã¢Â€ÂœWe donÃ¢Â€Â™t even know where the nest is.Ã¢Â€Â Chechande said harshly.

Ã¢Â€ÂœI can feel them, theyÃ¢Â€Â™re near.Ã¢Â€Â Dachande claimed.

Chechande shook his head, Ã¢Â€ÂœYou know the drill, if they are here than itÃ¢Â€Â™d likely that theyÃ¢Â€Â™re dormant. We donÃ¢Â€Â™t want to disturb them until we find suitable hosts.Ã¢Â€Â

Dachande bristled, Ã¢Â€ÂœIf we can locate the nest then we can go back to the ship and find hosts.Ã¢Â€Â

Ã¢Â€ÂœOr youÃ¢Â€Â™ll end up as one,Ã¢Â€Â Chechande said as he stood tall. He didnÃ¢Â€Â™t need this sort of behaviour from his team mate.

Acknade approached, Ã¢Â€ÂœThe train looks like it can go deeper into the facility. Shall we continue our search?Ã¢Â€Â

Chechande nodded, Ã¢Â€ÂœWe shall.Ã¢Â€Â He turned to Dachande, Ã¢Â€ÂœDonÃ¢Â€Â™t go running off we need to stay as a team while searching.Ã¢Â€Â

-

Natalie sat back in her chair and listened to the bantering going on between the other ships. TheyÃ¢Â€Â™d be landing soon and already the excitement was building.

Natalie flicked through the cameras and found the view outside. She saw the orb that was Iapetus grow larger as they got closer. It looked so lifeless, devoid of any type of landscape other than dirt or whatever it was. She was sure that the scientists would correct her naive assumption.

Ã¢Â€ÂœAre we picking up where that signal is coming from?Ã¢Â€Â she heard someone ask.

Natalie did a search, Ã¢Â€ÂœSeems like itÃ¢Â€Â™s almost coming from underground.Ã¢Â€Â

Ã¢Â€ÂœMakes sense,Ã¢Â€Â the Captain replied, Ã¢Â€ÂœWe donÃ¢Â€Â™t have any visuals of other craft.Ã¢Â€Â

Ã¢Â€ÂœAlmost seems like itÃ¢Â€Â™s coming from that ridge that runs around the moon,Ã¢Â€Â Natalie said, Ã¢Â€ÂœWeÃ¢Â€Â™ll need to land to find out if it does.Ã¢Â€Â

Ã¢Â€ÂœWait we can see something, thereÃ¢Â€Â™s a huge crater in the mountain side.Ã¢Â€Â The Captain said with surprise.

Natalie zoomed in her camera view. Ã¢Â€ÂœThatÃ¢Â€Â™s new, looks almost like a laser burnt into it.Ã¢Â€Â

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

After a moment Dachande spoke. "We must exterminate them."

Chechande whirled, growling. "No! We will revive the colony, and gain honor and glory by hunting them."

"Fool! This hive is to close to the Ooman's home world. They could detect something, stumble across it. If a single drone makes it onto a ship and hides until it docks. It could molt. A single queen could doom the planet. Destroy the Oomans. Just because you are shipmaster, do not assume that your honor is greater then mine. You are blinded by what you precive as glory. This hive must die."

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

Ã¢Â€ÂœYou forget your place, Dachande. I am no fool. I know what the hard meat is capable of, I have been a hunter far longer than you.Ã¢Â€Â Chechande reminded the younger hunter.

Ã¢Â€ÂœWe canÃ¢Â€Â™t let the hive become a threat,Ã¢Â€Â Dachande growled.

Chechande eyed Dachande through his mask, Ã¢Â€ÂœYour concern is appreciated. If things do go astray we will eradicate the threat like we always have.Ã¢Â€Â

Ã¢Â€ÂœBy annihilation?Ã¢Â€Â Dachande asked with disbelief.

Ã¢Â€ÂœIt is our way. I know as well as you that the hard meat is not to be trifled with. But there is much to learn from this place.Ã¢Â€Â Chechande said as he looked at the structure.

Ã¢Â€ÂœWe are hunters, technology is no great gain,Ã¢Â€Â Dachande hissed.

Chechande stepped forward, Ã¢Â€ÂœTo increase our prowess we must hunt a variety of creatures. To get to those creatures we must travel, often to other worlds. Without technology this would not be possible.Ã¢Â€Â

Dachande was silently fuming and was about to respond when they heard the sound of metal scraping across metal.

Re: RPG: Alien vs Predator

"Engage your shiftsuits, we can let them do our scouting for us." One of the younger Yautja said.

Chechande nodded, and the Yautja cloaked, and found suitable hiding places to observe from.

After a while they saw a train coming, like the one they had used. "Do not attack them. We will observe." Chechande ordered.

The humans entered, smartgunners first, followed by standardly equipped marines. Their shoulder and gun lamps waver, illuminating the area. One of them spotted the dead larvae, and prodded it with his gun. It opened its mouth, speaking in its strange language. "What the hell is that?" it said, staring at the dead creature.

"I dont know, looks like some weird cave spider. Probably not that dangerous." said another.

" God I hate spiders, you think there are more?" the first Ooman said.

"I dont know, but this thing looks like its been dead for a long time."

"Ugh, lets get on with it and get out of here. This place gives me the creeps"

Dachande tilted his head, as always wondering what the creatures said. He watched as they moved on.

((going to put human speak in italics from now on.))
